The First World War in Posters par Joseph Darracott
Amazing posters collected, not a great deal of analysis just a brief introduction.
An interesting account of John Constable's life as an artist, although difficult to follow who's who in places. I was surprised to learn that the highest price he achieved for one of his paintings was 300 pounds which is the equivalent of around 30,000 pounds by today's values! And this at a time when landscapes were not all that popular and many (now well known) artists were struggling to sell their works. The book includes a nice selection of images of his paintings.
